The up-and-coming singer’s story is much like Justin Bieber‘s, only with Pharrell Williams as her admirer instead of Usher. Alyssa shared that Pharrell even tried contacting her high school in Texas to get a hold of her, saying, “They didnâ€™t know who Pharrell was! They just thought it was some shady guy trying to get a hold of me!”

Her EP, out on iTunes and Amazon now, also includes a duet with Lifehouse‘s Jason Wade. He shared of the duet, “I just loved her voice. We sang both of the choruses out there together in the same mic-room, kind of an old-school way of recording.”

Alyssa‘s debut album, In Love Again For the First Time, is due out early 2011.

I love Alyssa Bernal, I’ve been subbed to her YouTube for a few years and she is amazing, I’m so happy for her success, she deserves it.

Amy

juls

Ugh, just throw another one out there boys. Sick of these young people who can sing like thousands of others and then getting producers to make their own music. Can Justin Bieber even come up with his own drumfill and bassline on a simple music composition program on PC/Mac? Doubt it. These people are so fake.

peetl

and for the record I come here for news on my favourite and obscure teen actors/actresses. I could care less about these lil tweens and their ambition to have their voice and image on a CD cover or PR market trick.

jenn

Oh yay !! Finally, some news about her. Thanks JJJ !! I honestly think her voice is one in a million. Everyone check out her original ‘All I Need’ and ‘Hey Love’ and many more !! They’re all so amazing !! :D

girlfriend

i’m rooting for her! she’s definitely an underdog especially since she’s being compared to vanessa hudgens a lot…i wish her the best of luck in making her own name & paving a road of success for herself :)

a glimpse of his face similar to Vanessa Hudgens. but surprisingly, he was 21 years old and do not look old at all, I even thought she was 17 years. compare with victoria justice looks even older than her age ..

Allie

Seen her live! She’s great!! I also love that her video was filmed by youtubers Wongfu Productions! So proud of them all!!
